He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

He who increases his wealth by interest and usury Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.

Proverbs 28:8

Commentary

Today usury means exorbitant rates of interest. Those who enrich themselves by usury or other forms of illicit revenue will lose their wealth; it will be taken from them and given to someone who knows how to use it better and how to treat the poor considerately.
